Unplanned pregnancies are not only associated with unmarried
couples, but even married couples get worried if they do not have plans to bear
the child at present. However, it is a matter of deep concern when you are
unmarried and you miss a period as also your urine test turns positive. You get
confused, worried and feel like killing yourself. This is natural, but not the
solution.
Do not go in for any hasty decision or come to any kind of
conclusion. Pregnancy is otherwise a time to celebrate but if you have unplanned
pregnancy, you need time to overcome the stress and tension. There are lots
of feelings that come and go and the two that persist are anger and guilt.
Things look bigger than you can handle at this tender age. Here are few tips
that can help you handle the situation properly.
Tips to Tackle with Unplanned
Pregnancy
Here are some tips for dealing with unwanted pregnancy.
Do not Panic
Although the situation is serious and you feel like crying
because of the anger and guilt prevailing within you, it is not time to panic.
You might be going through shame, fear and ignorance too. Do not feel cheated
due to circumstances or hate yourself or your relationship.
Remember, it is not the first life threatening emergency that you are facing.
Accept Yourself and
the Situation
It is very important that you first of all forgive yourself
for what happened. Just keep in mind that there is no harm going to happen to
your spiritual help even if you have gone through certain sexual
ignorance.
Do not Blame Yourself
Try to resolve this issue with the help of your mind and not
your heart. It is easier said than done. But this is the only way in which you
can handle the situation properly. Remember, the feelings of shame, guilt,
hatred and anger will not go away easily. But you will have to stop dwelling
and let go the guilt. Move on and take decision only when you are open to some
change in your life.
Take the Responsibility
Once you are able to overcome the feeling of guilt, you need
to take the responsibility of what is the situation right now. Stop thinking
about the past and anything related to it. Take a deep breath and decide with
self confidence to take any big step.
Learn From the Situation
Think about the problem as a learning step for you. This
will save you from getting trapped into any such situation in future.
Take Refuge to Meditation
Meditate deep before you take any decision. Do not take any
overwhelming decision of which you might have to regret afterwards. Weigh up
the pros and cons of your decision and share with only trusted person.
Take the Decision on
your Own
It is important that you take the decision about what you
wish to do with this pregnancy
on your own. However, you can take advice of an expert, counselor or doctor.
You may also discuss this issue with your partner. You can consider financial
issues, social issues, physical issues and psychological issues while taking
final decision. This will help you to prepare yourself to face the situation.
With the help of these tips you will be able to handle the
situation properly and take decision sensibly. Even if it is unplanned
pregnancy, this does not mean that this is the end of your life. There are many
situations in life when we have to face emergencies and this is one of them.
You have to handle it prudently and take decision that is good and right for
you and your life.
